No. You can use packet8 if you slightly modify the asterisk source code (outgoing calls only) or you can use the service provided by nufone.net

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] VONAGE or IP Dialtone
The Vonage service is offered with a SIP Cisco ATA device for connection to an analog phone.
Is it possible to connect the Vonage service directly to the Asterisk PBX bypassing the ATA and FXO card? Are there other services that offer this capability or something similar to IP dialtone?
Thanks Kevin
Vonage is a silly way to do VoIP with Asterisk - you would have to hook their box up to an X100P card on your system, which is preposterous. Avoid their service. They are user-unfriendly, and you cannot get the required account data out of the ATA box that they "sell" you. That is the most I'll go into it, but suffice to say there is a long list of gripes against their particular un-wise marketing choices.
packet8 is starting to show signs of looking like Vonage with their artificial restrictions in what SIP clients can connect to their service, so I'd start to look at them with a lot more suspicion these days.
iconnecthere.com, a division of Deltathree, has done well by me for LD service on both an in and outbound basis for SIP minutes. Nufone is also an excellent service, and has the benefit of supporting Asterisk users directly via IAX/IAX2, and would probably be my first choice only due to their contributions to the Asterisk community.
